House Speaker Nancy Pelosi<\/a> who was\u00a0accused by critics last week of using her platform to damage\u00a0a local hair salon owner<\/a> in San Francisco was called out on Monday over a tweet she sent out celebrating the \u201chard-working families\u201d across the U.S. on Labor Day.<\/p>\n

HAIR SALON OWNER THANKS SUPPORTERS AFTER ONLINE FUNDRAISING SITE’S MAJOR HAUL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cOver generations, working people across America built the middle class and secured progress for hard-working families,\u201d Pelosi wrote. \u201cHouse Democrats are unified in our commitment to America\u2019s working families. Happy #LaborDay!\u201d <\/p>\n

The tweet didn’t sit well with some commenters who pointed to her recent visit to a hair salon. Security footage obtained by Fox News, time-stamped last Monday at 3:08 p.m., showed the speaker walking through ESalonSF with wet hair, and without a mask.<\/p>\n

Salons in San Francisco had been closed since March\u00a0and were only notified they could reopen on Sept. 1 for outdoor hairstyling services only. Pelosi said she was set up by the salon owner and is owed an apology. Erica Kious\u00a0denied Pelosi\u2019s allegation, which sparked some critics of the speaker to accuse her of trying to hurt a small business owner trying to provide for her two young children.<\/p>\n

One commenter responded to Pelosi\u2019s tweet,\u00a0 \u201cIs this the same middle class that \u201cset you up\u201d or nah?\u201d<\/p>\n

Another wrote, \u201cNice hair.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pelosi’s office did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment from Fox News. The tweets were not all negative, and some thanked her for defending workers in the country.<\/p>\n

Some commenters brought up the negotiations over a new coronavirus stimulus package. Treasury Secretary\u00a0Steven Mnuchin<\/a>\u00a0said Sunday that Pelosi is refusing to negotiate unless Republicans are willing to spend at least $2.5 trillion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe speaker has refused to sit down and negotiate unless we agree to something like a $2.5 trillion deal in advance,\u201d Mnuchin said. \u201cAs you know, we put $3 trillion into the economy when the economy was completely shut down and we\u2019ve now reopened the economy. Let\u2019s do a more targeted bill now and if we need to do more in 30 days we\u2019ll continue to do more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pelosi said that the Democrat proposal would help working families in the country struggling to buy food and pay rent. She said in an interview that the Republican proposal has zero funding for rents and \u201cnext to nothing for food security.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pelosi told MSNBC that the U.S. has been hurt by President Trump in the coronavirus fight because he \u201cdoes not believe in science.\u201d <\/p>\n
